Would something like this fly? Bear with me, trying something new out here with the genre and the use of IRL face claims/pics and all!

"Sometimes, your closest family's got four legs."

_{[ ❇ ] B R I E F F A M I L Y H I S T O R Y}

The Borgersen family hasn't been in town for long, and the reputation they've built isn't entirely positive so far. Not quite used to the culture of greeting and talking to your neighbours, the silent, reclusive Artair and his potential shewolf can come across as cold, distant and even suspicious to some of the members of the community — especially when patrolling the streets in the early hours of the morning or late at night, wordless and armed. As for where the Borgersens came from and what Alistair does for a living, there are only guesses and rumours circulating about, some less complimentary than the others. He can be seen outside on his porch at odd hours of the day though, and he never seems to leave his house long enough to go to a workplace; rather, whenever he leaves, it's most often with a thermos, a backbag and the dog in tow.

If it weren't for the copious amount of smoking he does and the nightmares that sometimes keep him from getting any proper shut eye, his lifestyle could be described as pretty healthy.

@Vertigo

Waiting for Micki to get back to me in DMs about the CS.

[Kuro]

@Vertigo Just got with Micki. We're both in agreement that we would need more character information as GMs (like what do they do for a living). You can DM us if you'd like to keep the mysterious side of him in play, but we do need information as a sort of "safeguard" in case there are any hiccups down the road.

[Vertigo]

Sure thing, I can DM you two some more info at some point today before I board the plane.
